Bible, King James Version
2_Chronicles
2Chr.4
[1] Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the
length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten
cubits the height thereof.
[2] Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to
brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a
line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
[3] And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did
compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round
about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
[4] It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the
north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking
toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea
was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were
inward.
[5] And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the
brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of
lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
[6] He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right
hand,and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they
offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea
was for the priests to wash in.
[7] And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to
their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand,
and five on the left.
[8] He made also ten tables, and placed them in the
temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made
an hundred basons of gold.
[9] Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the
great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of
them with brass.
[10] And he set the sea on the right side of the east end,
over against the south.
[11] And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the
basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king
Solomon for the house of God;
[12] To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the
chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two
wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on
the top of the pillars;
[13] And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two
rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of
the chapiters which were upon the pillars.
[14] He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the
bases;
[15] One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
[16] The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks,
and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king
Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
[17] In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the
clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
[18] Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great
abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found
out.
[19] And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the
house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the
shewbread was set;
[20] Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they
should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
[21] And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made
he of gold, and that perfect gold;
[22] And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and
the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner
doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house
of the temple, were of gold.
